Email Issue

Hello folks, I have a question regarding sending email with VB6.

In the past I have used the outlook commands because it was convenient and all the machines running my applications had outlook running.

Now that's no longer the case and I need to be able to send email from an NT server with my code. I've looked at drivers built by other people but I can't get them to work and I can't seem to find the correct reference for using the cdo commands.

Does anyone have a short, simple example of how to send an email with the cdo system and where/what I need to install to have the reference available in VB6?

I have no idea abt VB6, so sorry if this is irrelevant
But here is a thread using CDO in asp, may be that gives u some idea

sorry, if that doesnt help

Yes the sweet irony is that we have a web app that sends out email but I didn't write it or get it working so I don't know how to get the cdo commands to be available in VB itself. using the commands in the example gives me an error when I get to the line

Set ObjMessage = server.createobject("cdo.message")

of Variable Not defined on the SERVER section of the line.

If I remove the SERVER portion of the line I get 'ActiveX component can't create object'. So I'm convinced I need to set the proper references but I don't see anything in the list that would give me what I want.
